You should give the ratio as integer independent of how many machines you need for items per minute.

Useful info would also be the number of items per second (or seconds per item) for one set with the perfect ratio (minimum number of machines with the right ratio) and the number of sets for your target speed.

What do you mean by that?

I'll add that asap.

In the code is a comment that the ratio will only be integers if it fits nicely with the numbers per minute or such. I imagine you get ratios like 5.5 : 3 if it doesn't fit instead of 11 : 6 as it should be, even if you only need 3 machines for the second item to reach your goal.

But then you would not get optimal ratios, because you can't put down a half assembling machine.
And also I am working with the remainder of numbers and that only works with whole numbers.

The only problem it has, is that if there is a box with no numbers in it, the page freezes. If anyone could help me why that is, that would be awesome.
